Chuck E Cheese with our Girl!

So one of the last things on our list to do with Brenley before Tyler came was to take her to Chuck E Cheese. We just went as a family of three and we had so much fun!

Oh and I told Brenley she could wear whatever she wanted and she chose her Cinderella dress -- classic!!

Such a pretty princess eating her pizza! :)

Her daddy was good at getting LOTS of tickets!

 

Get those frogs Bren!!

Mmmmmmm

 She LOVED slapping that red button :)

 My little family of 3 -- soon to be 4!

 

I would say it was a very successful and fun night!

Showered with Love for my boy!

I cannot believe how blessed we were to be given THREE showers for our sweet boy Tyler. I never would have expected this with a second child, but our friends, church and co-teachers were super sweet and blessed us beyond words.

Here are a few pictures from each shower...

Again, we were so blessed by these showers! Tyler is hooked up on diapers, clothes and all the essentials! So thankful!!!

Perot Museum

Going to the Perot Museum was the next thing on our list to do as a family of three and this past weekend we were able to go! I had heard great things about this museum, and they were all right...it was so much fun! There were so many "hands on" things for Brenley to do and she loved it!

 

The Children's area was the biggest hit! Brenley and Daddy sitting around the "camp fire".

And she could have spent hours at this water table!

Brenley the truck driver :)

Sorting vegetables

Building blocks



Daddy had some fun too in the Sports area -- he raced a virtual "Felix Jones" -- and beat him! :)

Making the wall light up with her touch

The Dinosaur museum made Bren a little nervous -- those are some big bones!!

Looking at a piece of bone

Seeing how big her "wing span" is

Touching some ice in the weather area

Yep, I am a Weather Girl in my spare time

Showing me what a snake does (no worries -- she didnt lick it) :)



We created this image on the computer and then she had to spin the wheel to make it show up!

On our way out -- following the bird feet

 

 

After about 3 1/2 hours we ready to go and Brenley and Momma fell asleep on the way home AND then slept more when we got home. :) It was a great day and we made some fun memories with our girl!

Family Zoo Day

So there are a few things we want to do with Brenley before little brother arrives in May. Going to the zoo was one of those things and today we made that happen! My parents were able to join us so that made it even more fun! Let's just say after 4 1/2 hours, Brenley and this pregnant momma were WORN out! :)

She really was excited - despite the look on her face :)

She wanted to start out the day with a carousel ride -- and was determined to ride the bench. :)

Having fun on the playground



Daddy found some friends

 

 

Daddy and his girl - 3 years old

Daddy and his girl - 9 months (found this pic in the same spot 2 1/2 years ago) :)

She liked that all the bronzed animals were not alive and were just her size. :)

Brenley and the Alligator

 

 

I am trying to soak up these last couple of months of her being an "only child". Stayed tuned to see what else we do...

A Day at the Park

Since it is Spring break this week, we were able to get together with my brother, sil and their 4 boys - or as Brenley likes to call them..."the cousins".

We all met up at a park near Mom's house and played until we were worn out!! After that we headed to my mom's for some more playing outside and some yummy fajitas!!



This girl loves to swing...

and be chased by her oldest cousin, Corbin!

 



Whew, she needed a break!

Feeding the ducks

Brenley is a little out numbered, but she can hang with the boys!

She LOVED that Aunt Kara would push her and run under her swing! This was followed by loud giggles!

Nana-D and all her grandkids

 



More playing at Nana-D's -- with cousin Cohen

 



And this was when she got a splinter -- pitiful

 

 

We had fun and can't wait til summer when we can see them more often!!!
